If you said "a crowd of female dancer wearing tight short shorts and
shaking their booties" you might have a point. But the naked writhing
you describe doesn't have much to do with rap. You're thinking of the
Britney Spears / Cristina Aguilera [*] genre, which really isn't rap at
all.
It makes one wonder if you're railing against contemporary culture
generally rather than rap music specifically.
mdl
[*] Yes, I know, there are newer starlets now, and Britney and Cristina
are tres passé now, but I'm several years behind the curve. (I can
picture one of the current ones, but I can't remember her name.)
Anyway, the point remains.
